I'm finding that while there isn't much need for virus scanning in Evolution, there is a very important role for virus scanning to play in Linux. What with SoBig.F flying around these days, I've been getting, on average, about fifteen virus-infected e-mails per day (I've never been hit this hard before, and I think it's because someone on my Debian list got themselves infected and infected a bunch of other people on the same list). At home I run a mail server with RH8.0 and I check my mail remotely using SquirrelMail, or with Outlook when I'm at my XP laptop. Right now I'm pretty safe since I know much better than to open any attachments sent to me from someone I don't know, and I recognize the subject lines that SoBig uses and I have my anti-virus software up to date. However, I would like to have the extra protection of my mail server killing the virus and stripping it even before I retrieve my messages. Therefore, some sort of virus detection software on my Linux computer would be wonderful. Sliante, Richard S.
